It is an interesting fact!
I would like to know whether the Chinese "YESU" was translated by Western / British missionary or by Nestorian church. How old is the Chinese "Yesu"?
If you are to translate the English / Hebrew / Greek Bible independently(without any knowledge of previous translations) into Chinese today, would you translate "Jesus"(GEESUS) as "Yesu" ?

The authors gave some interesting evidences, showing that a Christian message can be found in many of the most significant Chinese characters. I read this book many years ago. I am not so sure how reliable is this book.
